What do you need to know before trying Juvéderm®?
At Dermoperfection we work with industry leading product, Juvéderm® to provide our dermal filler treatments. If you’re curious about facial fillers and want to know more, you’ll find everything you need to know right here with ‘top things you should know about facial fillers’ from Juvéderm®.
So, we’ve all been there, looking in the mirror, or more recently on one of endless video calls and thought about losing those shadows, lifting those sad lines around the mouth, or having a fuller pout; there’s nothing quite like staring at yourself in unflattering light for a few hours to help you notice your imperfections. However, facial fillers can resolve all of these concerns, simply and easily.
Fillers are injectable gels used to restore or add volume to the face and lips. The formulas in Juvéderm® products are made from a modified form of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring sugar found in your body which attracts up to 1000x its weight in water to create a juicy, plumping effect. Facial fillers can be used to lift, tighten, enhance, or even correct things like bumps in the nose.
1) HOW DO I CHOOSE A PRACTITIONER?
There are a variety of healthcare providers who can inject Juvéderm®. Your initial consultation should be with a registered health care professional. You should not attempt to buy or inject Juvéderm yourself or by someone who is not qualified to do so, it is highly unsafe, against the law, and is extremely dangerous as the efficacy of the medication and injection technique cannot be guaranteed if not administered by a medically trained professional.
You should always seek a registered health care professional who is supervised by a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist, no exceptions.
Ask your practitioner:
Are you a registered healthcare professional?
2) IS THE TREATMENT PAINFUL?
Everybody’s pain tolerance is different, but practitioners who inject Juvéderm® liken the feeling to that of a little pinch that is usually well tolerated. In addition, Juvéderm® facial fillers include lidocaine, a type of anaesthetic which can help reduce any discomfort you may feel during treatment.
Ask your practitioner:
How can you make the injection more comfortable?
3) WILL THE FILLERS LOOK UNNATURAL?
People commonly associate fillers with bad or over-the-top results they may have seen on reality television — but good treatments can give you natural-looking results, they can be practically imperceptible.
A qualified medical practitioner will evaluate your face and aesthetics goals to give you a result you’ll be happy with. Plus, Juvéderm® patented technology allows the facial fillers we use to integrate with the tissue under the skin for a natural look and feel, whether you’re smiling, laughing, or frowning.
Ask your practitioner:
How can you ensure I will have a natural-looking result?
4) ONE SIZE FITS ALL?
Everyone’s aesthetic goals are different, which is why there isn’t just one facial filler formula to address every concern. You want to look like you, not like everyone else, right?
Your practitioner will create a tailored Juvéderm® treatment plan, depending on whether you want to plump, smooth, lift, or define.
Ask Your Practitioner:
How will you use JUVÉDERM® in my tailored treatment plan?
5) DO I HAVE TO KEEP COMING BACK?
While the results of facial filler are temporary, this treatment may not require as much maintenance as, say, hair colour or even laser treatments. Results with Juvéderm® can last between 9-24 months, depending on the treatment chosen and the area treated. Talk to your injector about your treatment plan — they can help guide you when it comes to planning your return appointment.
Ask your practitioner:
How long can I expect my results to last?
6) CAN ANYONE INJECT FILLERS?
Juvéderm® is a medical procedure and you should only receive treatment from qualified health care providers. Don’t be duped by advertisements with low prices or popular posts on social media — do your homework when it comes to your injector. Seeing a qualified, licensed injector is important: not only are they trained to work with you to give you the results you’re looking for, but they’re also educated on proper safety protocols with the treatment. Here at Dermoperfection we are proud to be a registered partner of Juvéderm® and a member of SaveFace.
